In my opinion i prefer dubbed because it is in english, it is easyer to understand, and watch what is happening in the clip. Also subbed is alright but the subtitles can go by pritty fast. If you are not paying alot of attention to them that is.I find that i could multitask and read and watch the video at the same time but i would rather not if i had a choice.
In addition I watch animie for the combined experience of the story line, sounds and voices and coloured moveing characters. If i wanted to read i would probably just buy a manga.
The subs go too fast for you? I find the subs go too slow for me... I often read what they're saying before they say it and that sometimes spoils a little of the experience for me. (-_-)

Unfortunately?, I'm too perfectionist to watch a dub. Unless it's Studio Ghibli or Samurai Pizza Cats. Samurai Pizza Cats, it's different enough to be seen as a different show from the Japanese version. And fun.

Dubs are usually... Well, the Japanese voice actors are just more experienced. Heck, they have schools just for voice-acting. It's just better quality for me, and exactly how the creators intended.

Re: Subbed or Dubbed: Which Do You Prefer?

I can't agree more =) Abby724. Mere I think you should have a serious go with the subbed, we promise you'll feel the difference too. Sometimes the english voice actors rly can spoil the mood an anime wants to make. That rly suck if it is an anime with a strong storyline and deep emotions too. With that multitask at hand.. try to pause the anime to read a long sentance, it's nothing to be ashamed of, I had such troubles in the beginning too but it came to an end the more I watched such subs =).

Best of wishes from me, Michael

Very nice ,exactly what i wanted to say ... and this actually happened in some animes i watched .. but again like i said many times before there are animes that are dubbed better even than the original japanese version itself and especially Trigun and Hellsing .. and i even compared the two version of those two animes and like i said .. but on the other hand take Vampire Princess Miyu as an example and you'll never watch a dubbed anime again for the rest of your life!

Re: Subbed or Dubbed: Which Do You Prefer?

to me i really dont care if the anime is subbed or dubbed.
but some animes really need to be subbed and some dont.even the creators have their own opinion. it all a matter of opinion.

without an opinion were just like the living dead

Elfen Lied disagrees with you! It has all of those things, and I think the dub definately conveyed the story brillaintly.

One area where I'd like to see dubs better in though would be the "annoying female ditz" characters. Some of those can be ultra cringe-worthy, I dare say. Sure, sometimes the voice is supposed to be grating and annoying, but just not that grating and annoying!

Re: Subbed or Dubbed: Which Do You Prefer?

Lots of people say they're not getting the "RIGHT and EXACT" words with the dubs...and they say that subs are the "the closest thing you'll ever get" if you can't understand nihonggo..How can people say this when they can't understand the language in the first place?

I agree with Mere, i don't really care but i prefer the dubs. Maybe like him, reading all the way is just not so TV for me...

If most of you here hate the dubs, i think it's just a matter of location, dubber's talent, and experience...Now i get to agree with ayu, here in the Philippines we really have good dubbers, good in both english and filipino..Good in a sense that we get the right voice for the right character, sometimes they do foolishly and risky but good ad libs. But it only works for anime, asian, and hispanic stuff...I really hate it when Filipinoes dub stuff other than that, it just doesn't sound and look good in a racial(but no racism intended) perspective.

Re: Subbed or Dubbed: Which Do You Prefer?

I prefer subbed. It seems closer to the original when its subbed than the dubbed version to me. Thats a great reason to me.

Totally agree , again watching Black Lagoon up to ep 12 as english dubbed.. you will never get the essence of the characters "american wise" if you watched it subbed.. In fact you might dismiss it as an ok anime! It is fantastic in english the way characters are portrayed. Two Hands (REvy) would not be the same! Ep 12 with the leprechaun dude and the Chinese chick she called "chinglish" was hilarious!. ....but if you watched it stubbed,, it would've been just another shooting gallery episode. oh well..

Re: Subbed or Dubbed: Which Do You Prefer?

Subbed or dubbed..

:] Easy.

If the dub doesn't appeal to me, then the subs are better. But if the anime has dubs and it sounds good, I'd still prefer subs because I just prefer their original voice actors. I think they bring out the characters attitude a little better.

<3 subs :]

Re: Subbed or Dubbed: Which Do You Prefer?

For me it really depends on the anime. Most of the time I watch the dubbed, but there are still a lot of times I prefer subbed. And there are a lot of animes out there you can only view subbed.
